There's no reason why we have to stick to one suffix. +s1+nmu1 for an NMU after a security upload is ugly but functional, and the next maintainer release would reset all the suffixes anyway. Likewise with appending another +bN for a binary NMU. As near as I can tell, since you would never base an NMU or security update on a binary NMU, the worst case is +s1+nmu1+b1, which isn't really that horrible. > Turning "debian" into "deb" and "testing" into "+" would make it better > "1.7.5+nmu3+deb3.1+.1" is comparable in length to the current > "1.7.5+nmu3+lenny1" If you go this route, please make it +deb31, not +deb3.1. The extra dot is historically special and indicates a binNMU. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
